Another enjoyable read by Lauren! I've really enjoyed all of her series and how they all interconnect with each other. This one is super super sweet, but also incredibly spicy. The characters are enjoyable and I loved the small town aspect!

This book made me giggle, LOL, and “awwww”! Prepare to SWOON with Julian Lopez on LOVE REDESIGNED by Lauren Asher! And also prepare to call in sick to work because you will want to binge this.

"I will always fight for what's in our best interest, even if it means fighting you in the process."

Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher is a steamy, heartwarming small town romance about two family friends turned childhood rivals.

He buys her a lakefront mansion so she can fix it and says,
"I don't want you to be bored here."
"Why?"
"Because I want to give you a hundred different reasons to stay."

Julian is EVERYTHING!

WHAT TO EXPECT:
– Second Chance Romance
– Billionaire Romance
– Small Town Romance
– Hate to Love Romance
– Only One Bed
– He Falls First (and hard!)

THIS WAS PHENOMENAL. I loved every part of Lauren's writing in this. I couldn't put the book down and this is my favorite of hers so far.

4.5 Stars rounded up!

Julian and Dahlia had me kicking my lil feet all day! I am a sucker for rivals to lovers, especially when they continue to challenge each other outside of a growing romance. And the slow burn tension? Screaming.

I loved getting to revisit some of my favorite characters from the Dreamland series, and even hope for connection to F1 which I think most of us can say Lauren Asher herself is the reason we started watching. Overall, I am super excited to see how this series grows (and maybe even hope for a trip to Dreamland!)

A read for fans of an enemies to lovers and second chance romance trope. This book has small touches of Lauren Asher’s other books, specifically the Kane Brothers (Dreamland Series). This is a spicy romance that is filled with hilarious banter. There will surely be more books to follow as many beloved characters were developed throughout this read. A bit sappy, and slightly cringy when it came to the sharing of feelings but overall a romance pick that will have you hooked. Adored the Spanish mixed throughout the book, it was seamless and a great touch!

I am a huge fan of Lauren Asher, and have read her previous published series. So, I was very excited to read this story! One of my favourite tropes is enemies to lovers, and this story does not disappoint. I love the chemistry between the characters, and the dynamics we see between all the characters. I personally am not a big fan of the millionaire/billionaire trope, however I still enjoyed the story.

t’s official Julian Lopez won the top of the list of Lauren Asher men.

I think I might die if I don’t get a man like him.

This was a heartfelt enemies to lovers, dual POV, workplace romance that sees two former rivals teaming up to help renovate a house and double their profits. I really enjoyed the emotional depth in this story. Dahlia is dealing with news of her infertility and struggling with depression. The more she works with Julian though the more she can't resist his charms. A steamy slow burn that is perfect for fans of authors like Meghan Quinn or Helen Hunting. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

This was a really good read if you like Lauren Asher's style of writing romances, and I loved the small cameos that characters from her past series made in this book. Some of the language and phrases used made me cringe, especially the more possessive ones that Julian used, but overall I thought the dynamic between Julian and Dahlia was really well developed, and I liked the way that they helped each other get over their past traumas and heal while being surrounded by their large and loving families. The cast of side characters was very well-rounded and interesting, and I can't wait to read Asher's next book in this series purely to spend more time with them.

Dahlia + Julian are everything🫠. So swoony and cute I love them so much. I was so sad to say goodbye to the dreamland billionaires but Lauren DELIVERED on the start of this new series and I cannot wait for what’s to come. I love the town, the side characters and Dahlia + Julian have my heart. Did I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t get enough? Yes I did. The tension, the steam, the chemistry was PHENOMENAL. Ugh I really just want to experience them all over again.

This is the first book I've read of Lauren Asher and a great one to begin with. I adore the characters instantly as I started reading. The story itself is lovely, a love that melts. The second chance romance really brings out the hopeful love in us. I enjoyed reading this and would definitely continue to read more.

i think this is lauren's best romance book she's written.

read if you like:
rivals/hate to love
second chance
one bed
she gets hurt, he takes care of her
banter
billionaire mmc (also very successful fmc)
childhood friends/frenemies
forced proximity

A great new series and beginning for Lauren Asher. What has always drawn me to her books is how loveable the characters are and the world she creates. We already got a slice of this in the Third Billionaire's book, but it was truly great to meet Dahlia and Julian and spend time in Lake Wisteria.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

4.5 out of 5 stars!

Small towns and meddling mamas. A recipe for a good time and great entertainment. From the moment Julian and Dahlia run into each other again, the sparks flew. Didn't matter that if looks could unalive, both would be incinerated. Was their downfall really just about betrayal or was there something more? No matter. Their meddling mamas ensure Dahlia and Julian get many opportunities to run into each other. Time and distance did nothing to dull the connection they had to each other. The characters were relatable and personable. The banter was excellent. The set up of this new series was on point. Can't wait to see what happens next!

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Lauren Asher never disappoints! I loved the Dirty Air series and the Dreamland Billionaires series, so Love Redesigned was such an anticipated release of mine and it gave me everything I wanted and more!

I love how every Lauren Asher book has not only a compelling love story that readers can’t help but root for but characters with so much depth to them. Dahila and Julian were so relatable in their portrayal of mental health. Topics like grief and depression were written with so much care and it was what really made this book stand out to me. I loved the character development and the beautiful love story between these two characters so much.

If you want a small-town romance with childhood rivals to lovers, a strong family dynamic, and amazing character growth, you need to read this book!

4.5/5 stars!

Lauren Asher continues to wow fans of modern day romance in the start of her new series with Love Redesigned. I read this within two days because I could not put it down. Since Asher's beginnings as a self-published author, you can clearly see her own development in her writing, her characters, and her plot lines. While still having those addicting spicy romance scenes, Asher focuses on her main character's development within themselves as well as part of their family and town. Cannot wait to see what more Asher has in store for us, I am a true fan and will continue to support her efforts in not only mixing the modern type of romance with sophisticated plot line, but also providing voices for all.

I absolutely love this book and the author never disappoints! The main characters were written beautifully and I can’t wait for the series to continue!

Lauren Asher does it again. A steamy second chance with a little enemies to lovers (in my opinion) was such a good combination. I loved the new "universe" that is being created in Lake Wisteria, and Julian and Dahlia were such a great couple to start of this series. Their families were precious and the love they had for one another in palpable. I also loved the little crossovers and cameos of a couple of my favorite Dreamland billionaires. I am excited to see where this series goes.

4.5 ⭐️
I really loved this one and I can’t wait for the rest of the series! This was actually my first book by Lauren Asher and I have to say I loved it and will definitely be going back and reading her other books. While this book isn’t connected to the Dreamland billionaire series, the characters from those books did show up a few times, but I never read those ones and it didn’t impact the story. There were so many cute grand gestures and acts of love in this story that literally had me screaming and kicking my feet because of how cute they were. Julian sure knows the way into a girls heart. There were a few parts of the story that seemed just a little long, but I still loved it so much and actually read it a lot faster than I thought I would with how many pages it is. I would definitely recommend this book. I can’t wait for the next one and I am sooo excited that it’s Rafa’s story it’s gonna be so good!
